My guess is that there was a big chondrule that got dislodged somehow.. ----------- Melanie IMCA: 2975 eBay: metmel2775 Known on SkyRock Cafe as SpaceCollector09 Unclassified meteorites are like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get! ----- Original Message ---- From: Galactic Stone & Ironworks <meteoritemike at gmail.com> To: Meteorite List <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Thu, July 1, 2010 3:55:26 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Stony meteorite with hole - holey stoney. Hi List, I was talking with a friend today about meteorites with holes and whenever the topic arises, the first place it goes is irons - usually Sikhotes. It reminded me of a small piece I have had in my collection for a while. This is a 7.4g unclassified NWA stony meteorite. It has a nice little hole in it. I'm guessing it is from weathering? The stone is quite weathered and all of the fusion crust is long gone. It does have a uniform coating of wind-polished desert varnish, so I am assuming the hole is from weathering. It was one of those little meteorites that I culled from a kilo-sized lot and stuck it into my stash. I don't know why, but I really like it and would not sell it. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/unwa-hole-1.jpg Best regards, MikeG -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Gilmer - Galactic Stone & Ironworks Meteorites http://www.galactic-stone.com http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone ------------------------------------------------------------ ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-listReceived on Sat 03 Jul 2010 12:50:54 PM PDT |
